Prof. Nino Lamboglia (1912-77), an Italian archaeologist and specialist in ceramlogical studies, Prof. Lamboglia in an interview in the late 1970s, Prof. Lamboglia said,”…having come here in 1947 [Spain] preaching the importance of pottery I am now alarmed to see that young people today are no longer archaeologists but merely ceramlogists: yet this is absurd, for I have always stressed the importance of pottery – but coupled with the understanding of epigraphy, city planning and archaeological problems in general. Now everyone here has gone in for pottery. I almost feel as though I’m to blame.”
